Huh? Yeah thats how we build planes we build a part there and transport it here to get more work done on it. We take it around to about 5 places around the country in big convoys disrupting traffic then bingo! We built a plane! If this is such a common occurance why isn't this seen or photographed more often??

For an easier comparison, here's the I-80 F-22 on a flatbed resized and placed near the I-20 F-35:
Size and dimensions all seem to be roughly correct. Bear in mind however that the F-22 is 62ft in length and the F-35 is 50ft. The angles of the photos are not perfect matches either.

G'day Tifozi....
All your points are fair enough.
Like I said, I don't think it's a perfect match but on balance I think it's still a plane, with an outside chance it's a piece of specialist equipment such as that mentioned earlier in the thread (i.e. part of a large wind turbine).
I'm going to have to stop mixing up my aircraft nomenclature!

Those pictures do not match. Pure and simple. yes, large stuff gets carted about like that, but the comparisson pictures are not the same as what is in the original picture. There are defined shapes in the other pics, in the original picture, it's a disc shape. not a plane shape, not a wing shape it's a disc shape.
Show me a picture of a disc shape object that big, being moved, and i'll be convinced. It could well be machinery of some kind, maybe part of a large engine, or something. But I'm not convinced that the pictures posted, are at all what was being transported on that night.

The only real problem I have with the comparison photos of the plane or the turbine is that there is not a "over sized load " sign and none of the others have escorts following them, not to mention all the photos I've seen so far were in taken in the daytime. All over sized loads I've ever passed on the road only has a truck in front and one I saw had a truck in front and one in the rear. I agree the one wrapped in the blue tarp is too large to be the same object. One other point, the object on I-20 has smooth rounded edges that look thicker than the plane wings, and it doesn't looked wrapped up in anything to me. I have seen a wind generator like the one you posted before on hwy 287, and I will admit it looked alienish, however, I knew what it was, there was no question in my mind.

If it was a part of a wind turbine, why would the official explanation be that it was an F-35 being shipped?
